<p>As far as I can tell, Barrel hasn't been updated since March and the master branch has been left in a state that doesn't even compile at the moment (I opened this PR back in March to fix it <a href="https://github.com/rust-db/barrel/pull/95">https://github.com/rust-db/barrel/pull/95</a> but there's been no traction so far). I guess I've got a number of questions...</p>
<p>Are there plans to maintain it? Are there future plans for improvements? Are there issues with the API which would make building something to replace it a better option?</p>

<p>I also want to contribute some stuff to it, but I am waiting for diesel 2.0 to be done</p>

<p>Hey there. It's been a while <span aria-label="sweat smile" class="emoji emoji-1f605" role="img" title="sweat smile">:sweat_smile:</span> I indeed didn't really maintain barrel in 2020. I've recently merged some PRs and fixed some code. I don't know if I'll have the time and energy to get back to the project  but the goal _is_ to cut a release with the fixes and finally implement a few features in the test harness that will make the library much more dependable</p>
